Not gonna lie, it’s def. interesting to be an owner of a bicycle now. Last time I had a bike was when I was a child and never had one as an adult. During my teen and adult life, I have just been sticking to public transportation and I still to this day enjoy it very much.

The past few years while living in Vietnam, I was an owner of a scooter… cause that’s just how you do it there. I was living like a local (even picked up some tricks and skills of how to bargain – maybe I can share this story later) and adapted to the culture by having a scooter/motorbike that took me around. It was easy, convenient and effortless.

Now that I’m back here, I’m adapting to this way of living on this part of the world — commuting on a bicycle like anyone else and I’m so loving it! It makes me wonder why I didn’t get into it looong ago?!

Well, lemme tell you about the bike I got. It’s a road bike. I have been specifically looking for this type. My mom asked me the other day: “Why don’t you get a normal women bike? It looks so manly” Ahh… no thanks. Not my thing. I like a sporty bike that is fast and that can take me up the hills easily. I could’ve gotten an electronic bike but I decided to keep it traditional on this part — maybe down the road, I will experiment with that and there is a big possibility that I would because as of late, I have been into bikes. I think my search and watch history are all about this – I even get ads recommendation now.
